2006 Honda Accord Facelift

LATEST UPDATE: The new 8th generation 2008 Honda Accord is now in Malaysia. Click the link more information on prices, specifications and photos.

Honda unveiled a facelift to it’s Honda Accord back in September. The new Accord has a refreshed front design and a totally different rear design, because American customers were complaining about the thin horizontal tail lights which according to market surveys did not suit the car. Personally I like the old design better than this new one, but let’s have a look at the new design.

UPDATE: This new 2006 Honda Accord facelift has been launched on the 6th of July 2006 in Malaysia. Click here for an in-depth coverage.

2006 Toyota VIOS Facelift in Malaysia

If you surf to UMW Toyota’s Toyota Vios website, you will see that the new facelifted Toyota Vios is now available for sale. The updated prices are RM88,880.00 for the 1.5G high spec model, and RM81,033.00 for the 1.5E base model. A very minimal increase. If I’m not mistaken, the previous prices were RM87,491.74 for the 1.5G and RM79,800.00 for the 1.5E.

For more details on the new facelifted Toyota Vios, check out my previous coverage of the new facelifted Toyota Vios launch in Taiwan. I will post updates on differences between the new and old model once I obtain this information.
